The Community Legal Assistance Society BC Human Rights Clinic has partnered with the BCAAFC to deliver educational workshops in Friendship Centres across British Columbia. The CLAS educational workshops empower participants by providing information on BC Human Rights Tribunal (BCHRT) services to support and uphold their human rights.
Please help amplify this work by sharing the digital, print and video resources within your networks and communities.
Education within the BC Human Rights Tribunal (BCHRT) and Indigenous communities is a vital part of achieving justice in human rights. The colonial legacy has impacted how people view, work with, and listen to Indigenous persons. The BCHRT’s 2020 report – Expanding our Vision: Cultural Equality & Indigenous Peoples Human Rights, details how Indigenous persons have been silenced and recognizes the absence of culturally appropriate and accessible services.
